Best for Couples

Romance is everywhere in Puerto Vallarta! From spectacular sunsets to intimate dinners at restaurants with breathtaking views to fun activities that will undoubtedly turn into time-honored memories, there is plenty for you to share with your loved one.

Savor Tequila: Chances are that you've enjoyed a tequila-based drink such as a margarita, at some point or another. In fact, many folks know that tequila is as emblematic to Mexico as vodka is to Russia. But being not only in Mexico, but in Jalisco, the state where it was originally created, the question "is there more to tequila?" is inevitable. The answer is a resounding "Yes!"

Markets, Mercados and Tianguis: A Mexican tradition that can be traced back to pre-hispanic times is the Tianguis, an open air market or bazaar usually held on the same day every week, where locals can purchase a variety of items, from fresh produce to clothing and so forth. In addition, traditional markets or mercados continue to draw customers in many cities large and small.

Explore Vallarta Restaurants: The restaurant scene in Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and surrounding areas is so broad and diverse, you could easily dine out every evening for an entire year without returning to a previously-visited venue. In fact, few topics ignite conversation among visitors and locals as intensely as local restaurants do: what's open, what closed, new dishes, and so forth.

Buzz the Treetops on a Zip-Line: It was around 2005 that the first zip line tours started appearing in Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas. Since then, thousands of visitors have enjoyed the thrill of gliding briskly over treetops. Today, the select companies that offer zip line tours in the region compete with one another to provide the safest and most memorable experience.

Take a Bay Cruise: A unique way to take in the breadth of views and destinations is by taking a boat cruise throughout the bay. Daytime or evening, large or small, there are options for everyone, from families with children to singles. Bay cruises allow visitors to enjoy the view of our destination from a completely different angle, along with the opportunity to encounter marine wildlife.

Walk the Malecón: While many areas in Puerto Vallarta can be easily enjoyed on foot, walking the Malecón stands out as a must-do activity for visitors and locals. Day and night, alone or in a group, at a leisurely pace or even jogging, the Malecón is a social gathering place for visitors and locals that allows the opportunity of experiencing traditional Puerto Vallarta at its best.
